In the new lawsuit, Proton says the iPhone maker holds a monopoly in the smartphone, app distribution, and app payment processing markets. It also compares Apple’s fees to tariffs on internet commerce, calling them “artificial and arbitrary.” The suit is looking for changes to the App Store and monetary damages,

EU will see delayed release of iOS 26 features due to DMA concerns Apple’s ongoing efforts to comply with the EU’s DMA will mean EU users will be missing out on certain iOS 26 features…at least for now.

What can we expect from Apple’s rumored new 2026 MacBook, with an iPhone processor?

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2026-02-22 08:31:56

Analyst Ming–Chi Kuo has suggested that Apple plans to launch an all–new MacBook next year, powered by an iPhone processor. Specifically, he expects it to have the A18 Pro chip which currently powers the iPhone 16 Pro line–up. While there’s no word on pricing, the only way the report makes sense is if Apple is targeting an even lower price than the $999 starting–point of the current MacBook Air. Indeed, if you factor in discounted pricing on that, then it would have to be significantly cheaper.

He writes on X that Apple will go into production in late 2025 or early 2026 on a new MacBook model that will be powered by the A18 Pro chip, rather than an M-series processor.
